It worked. Not only does it work just fine for turning a stainless taper between centers it also worked pretty nicely as a "knock" wrench to unscrew two smooth stainless rods from each other that were cylindrical with no wrench flats. One went in the aluminum vise in the picture, and the other went in the lathe dog. A couple taps with my brass hammer and apart they came.
